Lawrence R. Catuzzi (born c. 1935) is a former American football player and coach and investment banker.
He was the quarterback for the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens football from 1956 to 1957.[1][2][3] He still holds the Delaware school record for best passing percentage in a game; he completed eight of ten passes against Lehigh in 1956 for an .800 completion percentage.[4]
Catuzzi held assistant coaching positions at the University of Dayton (backfield coach in 1960), Indiana University (offensive backfield coach, 1961–1964),[5] and Ohio State University (1965–1967).[1][6] He was the head football coach at Williams College from 1968 to 1970, compiling a record of 11–13.[7] In October 1970, Catuzzi described his approach to football at Williams College as follows: "Our approach to football is low-key. We don't take ourselves as seriously as the high-pressure schools do. The kids are playing because they want to play. ... Football at Williams is another extracurricular activity offered in the fall, and not a matter of life-and-death."[8]
Catuzzi left coaching in the 1970s and became an investment banker. He has held positions with Financial Security Assurance, Inc., Rauscher Pierce Refsnes, Inc., Underwood, Neuhaus & Co., Inc. and the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York.[9]
In the early 1980s, Catuzzi was the president of the Bluebonnet Bowl Association, the sponsor of the Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston, Texas.[10]
In 1998, Catuzzi was appointed to the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority. He became the Vice Chairman of the organization, and his current term expires in August 2010.[9] He is also a member of the Boards of Directors of the American Diabetes Association.[9]
Catuzzi's daughter, Lauren Grandcolas, died on September 11, 2001, as a passenger on United Airlines Flight 93.[6][11] Since the incident, Catuzzi has been active in seeking to develop and finance the Flight 93 National Memorial.[12][13] He is a director of the Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas Foundation and the Flight 93 Federal Advisory Commission.[6][9]
